Keep Spirituality Out Of Crypto and Focus on Knowledge, Not Prayers.

[Joeboy]

I saw this topic in the Beginners & Hep Section If you are a newbie do not be deceived, God has no relationship with crypto and I waz inspired to bring down something similar to our 9ja board....

Folks really need to stop getting mislead because of their faith, coz cryptocurrency really has no connection with spirituality and it will never will. And as such when you want to invest into any crypto asset, just. do yourself the favour of keeping your spirituaity aside and picking it up later coz crypto doesn't respond  to prayers, fasting , visions and whatever spiritual activities....Some folks even go as far as praying and fasting before buying a coin or even even foolishly going to money minded prophets/ prophetess to confirm if they will profit from a crypto  asset. And when that coin later dips, they begin blaming God or whatever spiritual being/ figure that they believe in. Am not God but then I really don't think that God will even waste his time answering such prayer when he has already given you the mind to reason.

Why not stop wasting your money consulting fake prophets and focus on:

1) Doing Your Own Research( DYOR) before pouncing on any crypto project. Coz cryptocurrency is majorly controlled by physical factors such as a) Demand and Supply. b) Liquidity. c) News events. d) Market Sentiments etc.....

2) Investing only with the extra money that you can afford to lose( Discretionary Income)

3) Understand the level of risk that you can comfortably take and don't overstretch it. For example most folks find it very difficult to invest more than 100k into an asset, flow on with that your mentality, don't go and start putting in your whole 1M or your savings or all your income just because that is what others are doing

4) Accept that most crypto asset can be very volatile even than others

5) Always study the market even though it may be very difficult to predict/ ascertain the market.

I pity anyone who is doing prayers and fasting in the name of crypto currency because these things don't work that way. This part of the word and spirituality is just something else. If prayer and fasting fixes things that responds to demands and supply, Nigeria economy would have been the best economy in the world because the kind of prayers that are made for our economy every day, no other economy is being prayed for like that.

Anyone going into crypto currency should just know that it is your smartness, calculations and diligence that will make them outstanding.

Smiles, prayers may not really work in Bitcoin because Bitcoin needs focused, determination, knowledge and continuous learning, even though some spiritually persons may disagree with this notion but then some persons might say that hard work and prayers will give you success but some persons will just pray and they will go to sleep, so it's best to say that while praying, an investor should also gather experience and knowledge about Bitcoin and also invest wisely

You should have just translated the original topic to pidgin, instead of bringing something similar to the local board.

You only need to tell the original owner of the topic that you have translated his topic into pidgin.

Whatever, prayers are spiritual things, while crypto is a physical thing; it does not affect whatever we do in crypto. Well, beliefs differ.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Lol, all those gullible people that are looking for miracle money, they like this kind of things, that's why you see that the fake prophets and pastors ends up eating their money and while the pastors are enriching themselves with the money from gullible members, those members will get poorer while pastor is getting richer.

What some gullible church goes or Christian don't understand is that if those their pastors even have the knowledge of crypto and are making so much money from it, many them pastors and fake prophets will not be in the church to serve those positions but they will be in their rooms sitting and making money with some wise decisions on the crypto market and a few pressing of keys on their system.

[Marykeller]

If you don see such a thing happen before, I never see am, or hear of anything like that, for peso to pray and fast before buying any crypto coin, when the decision of buying any crypto coin d have in mind, at whatever price rate, d on them to do that.

Wetin you go fit tell me, and I go believe to am na, a crypto investor to tell their prophet to help them pray about the crypto coins they have invested to skyrocket. Which I no see anything in am, for peso to hand their investment for the hand of God to take care of.

Prayers and fasting won't help people succeed in crypto investment because crypto investment isn't a spiritual problem, and people shouldn't just wake up one morning and start investing in assets they know nothing about and expect prayers and fasting to help them succeed. Crypto investment is like a battlefield; we have whales who are controlling the market to favor them, so if anyone wants to succeed in crypto investment, that person needs knowledge to achieve that.

[rachael9385]

Reading the title alone made me laugh because we live in a country where most people think that the way to achieve anything is through prayers, instead of them to put in the required efforts they try to bring in religion into everything. Well, you have said it all, the financial market isn't controlled by prayers, there's nothing wrong in praying but it f you are a trader it is not going to stop you from incurring losses when you make mistakes. This is something that is supposed to be common knowledge but people are been to religious

[casey15]

One thing that is common about Nigerians is the fact that they love praying so much about everything... It is not bad in itself.. it is very good to commit all your endeavors in the hand of your creator but the downside is that you shouldn't do it without putting in work and expect a result
No matter the amount of prayer given, if you are lazy, if you do not study and if you do not have the right knowledge, nothing will work for you not even crypto. God will not come and chart the charts because if you neither will he change the price of Bitcoin just because you prayed.. Nigerians should learn how to be accountable and put in work even while praying

[Hatchy]

Everyone has their own beliefs when it comes to various aspects. We can pray and ask God for direction, progress in our crypto investments, but don't be the kind of investor who gets sad or angry at him when your investment tumbles. God isn't controlling the market and he cannot help you in that aspect. If it were possible, a lot of strong prophets, pastors and magicians would have made so much from the market own their own. But then you should know that the market it self is not spiritual place. It has taken so many people's hard earned money and given out as well. It doesn't have a mind of it's own, it doesn't think, it just acts.

[Fiatless]

Why would I spend money consulting religious leaders when God is in my heart? The Bible serves as a guide if I want counsel. The Bible never says you should not do research before investing. The book of Proverbs is loaded with sound principles you need to be successful in all areas of life. I believe that God can direct my path, so I pray to Him and do my homework. God gave us a brain so that we shouldn't depend on him solely for everything. I pray to God for everything but I also use my head.

[Coin_info]

Some folks even go as far as praying and fasting before buying a coin or even even foolishly going to money minded prophets/ prophetess to confirm if they will profit from a crypto  asset.

Any form of prayer and fasting or any other form of spiritual activity before investing should be for guidance and direction. With divine guidance you can be directed to a coin that you should be focused on through research. Spirituality should not be a direct replacement for the need of knowledge.
Any body who thinks that way is just deceiving themselves.  As you are spiritual, also make it a practice to find knowledge always  because that is what will bring the profit.

[Ronsbit]

I am meant to believe that when a man is hard working, God crowneth his works with favour, even the bible says "seest thou a man diligent in his works, he shall sit with kings and queens" This implies that you must show working before anything comes your way. In other words, one must be hardworking and watch God crown his efforts with favour, and not just go to a prophet or a seer to help you pray, so that the crypto price will just pump immediately, and you take profit. Things do not work that way again.
You must be hardworking in the sense that you must do what is needful so as to get the rewards of your labour, do research on your investment choice, and get details and information that could be useful in helping you maximise profit. Only when you do this shall you get the results you seek for and not by deceiving yourself with all of this stuff of this and that.

[Felicity_Tide]

There is something we can due diligence, but unfortunately, a large percentage of the entire population don't even practice it. There is a place of spirituality and there is a place to ask questions. What makes a lot of people different from others isn't necessary because they were built that way, but it is because of the difference in their level of knowledge and the ability to use common sense when it's necessary. A major problem among Nigerians is that they always want someone to tell them what they want to hear, and those who are far smart enough are very good at exploiting that.

I don't underestimate certain things that relates with spirituality, and sometimes, I choose not to even talk about them, but the Truth will always remain the truth, there are times to ask questions and be diligent, rather than see everything from the religion point of view.

It  may sounds very funny but that's the bitter truth and also reality of life, many think Bitcoin investment can be manipulated through spiritual means or ways in their favour but little did they know that it didn't work that way. You get wake up from your sleep if actually sleeping and face reality, stop  dreaming and face that facts by making more of research about it investment, Try knowing the basics information needed to aid your dreams as a successful Bitcoin investor and stop trolling your hard earned money on pastor that will do nothing but to get you deceived. Bitcoin investment has no business with spirituality, just put in the major concepts needed in aiding your investment journey and you see things falling in place.

[SatoPrincess]

Some Nigerians are overly religious and love to associate their faith with everything. They fail to understand that there are systems and principles that govern certain things, and anyone with the right information can exploit those systems without prayers or divine intervention.
